Birthday Shaker Card
Hi readers! Thanks for stopping by today. We’ve got a great card sample from the fabulous Lucy Abrams! Aren’t her sequin packs just over the top GORGEOUS? She even incorporated some fun paper piecing to make this adorable Birthday shaker card. Care to give it a try? Read on!
Hi. Today I have a fun birthday shaker card to share with you. To make my card, I first stitched a sheet of acetate to some MFT chevron patterned paper, leaving an opening at the top. I filled the pocket with Lucy’s Cards Lagoon Sparkly Shaker Selection, then stitched up the gap and adhered the shaker pocket to a folded card. Next, I die cut a Large Tag from some Hero Arts Letterpress paper, then splattered with some Peacock Feathers Distress Ink mixed with water.
I stamped the dog and balloon from Hero Arts Party Time by Lia set on more chevron papers, and fussy cut them out. I stamped the balloon again on the tag, then paper pieced the chevron balloon on top and added the dog. Finally, I stamped the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp’s Birthday Flowers set on white card, cut it out and added to the tag. After threading the tag with some Lawn Fawn cord, I adhered it to the card with foam tape. Thanks so much for visiting – I hope you enjoy your day.
